Silky Saw | Tsurugi Curved Blade Hand Saw 33cm

Meaning “long sword” in English, the Tsurugi is a unique tree saw that utilizes advanced materials and blade-grinding techniques to deliver a durable, super-slender “spine of teeth,” designed to cut hard-to-soft wood, especially in tight spots!

Comes in both a straight and curved blade.  Having no need for screws, nuts or  hardware to keep it together the weight is reduced. The result is a much more aggressive blade.  This saw is designed for the pruning of small to medium branches.

The handles are made from a special rubber designed by Silky Japan.  It absorbs a lot of the vibrations you get when cutting and allows you to have a very good grip, even when your hands are damp..

BLADE DETAILS:

• It has a very narrow blade allowing easy access into small spots, such as the fork of a tree or between palm branches.
• It has a tooth style to cut dense and sappy timbers with ease.
• It has a hollow-ground blade, which reduces friction whilst cutting. This allows the cutting stroke to feel very easy and fast.
• The teeth are a Mirai-Me tooth style. This style of tooth creates a very smooth cut which leaves the branch so smooth that it will appear as though it has been given a light sand. This benefits the tree by reducing the chance of water and bacteria sitting in grooves in the timber encouraging infection into the wound.
• This style of tooth also makes a wider cut in the timber than the width of the blade, therefore reducing the chance of the blade jamming.
• The blades are made from very strong steel which is also quite flexible.
• The blades are also coated to give them protection from rust and resin.
